本レビューは、UAEの手術室の環境負荷（廃棄物、エネルギー、麻酔ガス）を分析し、ネットゼロ2050目標に向けた周術期ケアの脱炭素戦略を提案する。37の文献を基に、グリーンチームと5Rフレームワークの有効性を示す。UAEはまだ手術室特有のデータや指針が不足している。

English

This literature review examines operating room environmental impacts in the UAE (waste, energy, anesthetic gases) and proposes perioperative decarbonization strategies aligned with the Net Zero 2050 mandate. Based on 37 sources, it highlights the effectiveness of multidisciplinary Green Teams and the 5R circular economy framework. Gaps in OR-specific data and policies are identified.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters

日本のGX文脈において

日本の医療機関でも手術室の環境負荷は課題であり、本論文の5Rフレームワークやグリーンチームの事例は参考になる。ただしUAE特有の事情を考慮する必要がある。

In the global GX context

This paper addresses a critical gap in healthcare decarbonization: operating room sustainability. While focused on the UAE, its evidence-based interventions (5R framework, Green Teams) are globally relevant for hospitals aiming to reduce Scope 1&2 emissions and waste.

👥 読者別の含意

🔬研究者:Provides a synthesized overview of OR sustainability literature and identifies research gaps in UAE context.

🏢実務担当者:Offers actionable interventions (waste segregation, reusable equipment, energy efficiency) for hospital sustainability teams.

🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for national healthcare policies targeting perioperative emissions to meet net-zero commitments.

📄 Abstract（原文）

Climate change threatens global health, yet the healthcare sector itself is a significant contributor to the problem. Operating rooms (ORs) are the most resource-intensive areas within hospitals, consuming substantial energy, generating considerable waste, and emitting volatile anesthetic gases. While the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has committed to achieving Net Zero by 2050, perioperative sustainability strategies remain absent from national healthcare policy-a critical gap in the country's decarbonization efforts. This literature review synthesizes findings from 37 peer-reviewed publications, institutional sustainability reports, and policy documents to examine operating room environmental impacts, waste management practices, global sustainability interventions, and UAE-specific healthcare initiatives. Sources were analyzed to extract data on waste generation, energy consumption, anesthetic gas emissions, international best practices, and regional sustainability programs. Global evidence shows that operating rooms contribute to healthcare emissions through three main pathways: waste generation, energy consumption, and anesthetic gas emissions. Multidisciplinary Green Teams implementing the 5R circular economy framework (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink, Research) have successfully reduced environmental impacts while maintaining clinical safety standards. Effective interventions include comprehensive waste segregation programs, transitioning to reusable medical equipment, investing in energy-efficient technologies, and optimizing anesthetic gas delivery systems. While the UAE has made progress in broader sustainability practices, significant gaps exist in OR-specific data and implementation guidelines. Substantial perioperative emission reductions are achievable through systematic implementation of evidence-based interventions. However, this requires comprehensive audits, targeted policy development, and stakeholder engagement to align the UAE's perioperative care with its Net Zero 2050 commitment.
